The Union canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 71 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 178 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $205 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $95
• Tools and protective gear: $60
• Waste removal and skip hire: $45
• Signage and educational materials: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Isha. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Sent it to 15 people at work
Wishing you peace, Isha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Kathmandu so I could bring a meal
Hope things get better soon, Isha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from La Plata.
Wishing you the best, Isha. Great idea, hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Love from Austin.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Isha?
Thank you. If you're in New Delhi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you!
Sending strength, Isha. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Love from London!
Hang in there, Isha. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Praying for you, Isha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Praying for you, Isha. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of New Delhi
You're not alone, Isha. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Blessings.
